$ About It's improvement.

At last the water power improvement
agitation is.assuming some business like
shape, and for the first time men with
a disposition to invest and an abundance
of fcarital have Investigated the condi-
tions in relation TO the water power
here, and they are naturally very favora-
bly, impressed. The gentleman were
Mcssrs. Win. l.. Breyfogle, Archer
Harman and Dexter Belknap, all of
Louisville, Ky. They are each wealthy,
and Desidec their own money, they
represent very. wealthy syndicate Of
Louisville capitalists. They arrived in
town Tuesday noon accompanied by NJ.
NJ. Williams and r. Mcnamara of St.
Paul. The gentlemen were conducted
about the village and to the places of
intesest in this vicinity by Mayor
Simmons, City Attorney Farnham, Hon.
N. Richardson and Others. They were
we'll pleased with what they saw and
learned, and finally decided to furnish
the money to make the improvements
under, certain conditions One Of these
conditions is that 100000 10 bonds shall
be voted to the company that builds the
dam and makes the other improvements,
which will be at the estimated cost of
at least S240,O00. An informal meeting
of the business men Of the village. and
several parties from outside towns, was
held on Wednesday afternoon and it was
unanimously agreed to accept the
proposition and those present promised
to Go their utmost to fulfill the part
asked of the citizens of the village and
county. The formal proposition will be
filed with the proper officers Of the
village, towns and county in few days
and bond elections called Immediately
FromIthc present outlook there will be
no difficulty in voting all the bonds.
although it is probable that the village
of Little Falls will have to guarantee the
interest on the Little Falls town bonds
or assume part OF them as under Judge
Collins recent decision the town has not
sufficient valuation to justify such heavy
bonded Indebtedness.
Mr., Williams is positive that the
Louisville gentlemen mean business, and
there is every reason 10 believe that
within sixty days work will be co,n-
menced on the dam

1t IS due to the'living and the dead of the
Union Army Tint SECESSION was. quelled.
To the grand total We must feel indebted
iar theliberty that Was proclaimed to all
mankind that acknowledge and obey our
laws Secession was suppressed and our
great union was again united. To the
brave soldiers it is due that our paths have
since been sunshine; hatevery where in
our.land is prosperity.
Defeat Of the Uniou would have made
beiigerent nations of what is now united
The European system of maintaining large
standing armies would proclaim to our
people arule that needs no mention
Each succeeding year we assemble on
Memorial Day in memory ofthe brave dead.
Each succeeding year finds the number of
their final resting places greater. You
may not abserve any new graves here to-
day, but those of you who keep watch 0:
the obituaries in the newspapers, can
verify the statement With the same ratio
OF the increased buried soldiers is The de-
crease of the brave living. Let it be hoped
that when the last Of the noble heroes shall
be called on to surrender his earthly being,
when he shall, for the last time, gaze upon
our fair land, that it be his pride to see
these states still moving onward in union,
towering higher and higher among the
nations af the earth, as the home of it's
people, securing for them all the blessings
OF liberty, We doubt not that when the
last otthe brave union soldiers Of the great
Rebellion is returned to his mother earth,
the time honored custom of bedecking the
graves of the brave will still continue and
be as lasting as the nation they ushered
through the night Of horrible war into the
| morning Of glorious victory; the morning
of the day of glorious prosperity, the
morning of our day.
Friends, Gull from Natures field her
most beautiful garlands, bring in the
purest Of her flowers, place them on the
graves Of the sleeping brave as a token Of
their great gifts to us and ofour honor and
